    I am not able to replicate the issue in EViews. Can you please give example instrument?

  • Hi Monika,

    As for the IBES problem. Again this is in eviews.

    Below is the code I used to fetch the data.

    ------------------------

    wfcreate(wf = "",
    page = "monthly") m 2019 2019

    fetch(d=datastream,c=l)
    @:M3WRLD(a12pe)

  • Hi @erik.franco

    Im looking into this and will confirm.
